Jackson Avenue Lyrics by Stephanie McKay

Tell It Like It Is

0

Uptown, on the block where I come from
We got nothing but love
Where ya'll at put your hands in the air
And get on up now
Shout out all my girls round the way
And the good times back in the day
On Jackson avenue
Back in the day
On the block we'd be playing handball
Till the street lights came on
Planet rock on the radio
Phat laces and shell toes
Kool Moe Dee and Krs –1
They had us bouncing like
Abcandlmnop cause I want you
Supersonic motivating rhymes on the corner
South Bronx, south Bronx
Uptown on the block where I come from
We got nothing but love
Where ya'll at put your hands in the air
And get on up now
Shout out all my girls round the way
And the good times back in the day
On Jackson Avenue
B-Boys round the way they
Be calling our names
Trying to get us to freak in the hall
Meanwhile my girls keep it fly
Our sergios creased and tight
You know we don't give em no play at all
But they keep sayin' sayin'
Que tu quiere Mami let me know cause I want you
Pops is working late so do you want to come over
Then its' never too much
Never too much
Playing all night long
Uptown
On the block where I come from
We got nothing but love
Where ya'll at
Put your hands in the air and get on up now
Shout out all my girls round the way
And the good times back in the day
On Jackson avenue
I remember the day
This crew called Rock steady would play
Red alert would spend them old 45's
And all the crews would come down
From the other side of town
Just to hear the MC roc the mic right
They say it to you
All the people on the side let me see you slide
All the people in the middle let me see you wiggle
All the people up top let me see you rock
Everybody in da house say whoooa, whoa
Uptown
On the block where I come from
We got nothing but love
Where ya'll at
Put your hands in the air and get on up now
Shout out all my girls round the way
And the good times back in the day
On Jackson avenue
Uptown
On the block where I come from
We got nothing but love
Where ya'll at
Put your hands in the air and get on up now
Shout out all my girls round the way
And the good times back in the day
On Jackson avenue
